    Abstract: The Higher Education Opportunity Act, Public Law 110-315, 
established the allocation of Federal Work Study funds to recognize, 
encourage, and promote the use of comprehensive work-learning service 
programs as part of a financial plan which decreases reliance on grants 
and loans. The Work Colleges Program is one of the three Federal Work-
Study Programs. The other two Federal Work-Study Programs are the 
Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program and the Job Location and Development 
(JLD) Program. This is a request for an extension without change of the 
current information collection. The participants are required to report 
expenditure of funds annually. The data collected is used by the 
Department to monitor program effectiveness and accountability of fund 
expenditures. The data is used in conjunction with institutional 
program reviews to assess the administrative capability and compliance 
of the applicant.

    Dated: November 29, 2023.

PRA Coordinator, Strategic Collections and Clearance Governance and 
Strategy Division, Office of Chief Data Officer, Office of Planning,
